this is bigger than lance. it's funny, we get wrapped up in the lance/oprah from raw. but the story is bigger than lance. it's good that the truth is coming out. it's basically a good thing there will be truth and transparency in the sport. the problem here is a cultural one, really. this was a very, very dirty culture. lance came along in a perfectly good storm, and built it into an empire. >> do you think he can be completely honest? >> i think this is the first step in trying to. i think being completely honest is an absolutely new concept to him, and he's doing it in such a public manner. okay, sure, there's a reason why he chose oprah and not to go on "60 minutes." that in and of itself speaks volumes. it's the first step. like i said, if he drops the ball, he's going to be called on it and then nobody is going to believe him. >> it's going to be a fascinating night, the beginning of two nights. betsy and daniel, thank you very much. >> you're welcome. >> we're going to be live at 10:00, too, so after the interview is done, join us. we'll be talking about it with

lance slide. it's not like we didn't see this coming for a long time. lance armstrong's cheating and deceptions have been chronicled, reported and testified for years. lance armstrong was no ordinary cheat, no fourth outfielder or linebacker hoping for extra muscle. lance armstrong was an international hero, a seven-time tour de france, winner, the babe ruth, mohammad ali, the usain bolt of his sport. not to mention a public face in the fight against cancer. yet in his confessional last night with oprah, he confessed only what was obvious to anyone who wanted to see it, that he doped throughout his cycling career. but armstrong did not admit to cheating, denied he was a doping ringleader, didn't admit to bullying and worst of all, seemed emotionally incapable of sympathy for ts people whose lives he ruined and money he took when they tried to do nothing more than tell the truth about what he had done. joining me is "the daily beast's" buzz bissinger and sports editor for "the nation" dave zirin. buzz, i have to bring it up, in august of 2012, just five

lance armstrong is a partial owner here. i was talking to the general manager of the store, and he said they know the circle of support for lance armstrong has shrunk considerably, but there's still a great number of people who support him. he told me an anecdote of a woman who bought a bike here and after the report had come out, returned the bike and said i refuse to give that guy lance armstrong any money. but despite all of that, there is still support and he still supports the friend he's known since they were teenagers. have you told him maybe you lost faith in him? >> no. there's still a lot there. there's still a lot of things that he's done and accomplished outside of the seven tours of france. everything right now is focused on that. when you take him the person and look at all the things that he's done, people's inspired, people's helped with cancer, there's a much bigger story. and i think that part of the story will start to come around. a lot of people are sort of abandoning him really quickly and i think that
